open rafter tails

What's the best way to create these open rafter tails.. I already created the roof with a 12" overhang.  Now the client wants open rafter tails.  So I went in and created a void to cut out almost all of the eave, leaving the sheathing, and one rafter tail at either end.  Now, I need to go back in and create an exposed rafter tail, and repeat it @ 16" o.c..  I've tried to copy as an array, but it's not letting me do it.  The copies just stack up on one position..

You can use the beam system tool for tails.    

 

...or Sloped Glazing 

 

 

There are  several video tutorials on-line showing both methods.

i had that same thought... tried one, and was having trouble getting it to work.  I would also then have to apply a void to give it a plumb cut..  Funny thing is... i did this with an extrusion once before on a house a few months ago.  Had no issues, but I dont remember how I did it other than it was an extrusion that was copied as an array.  When I made this one, I used the side of the existing rafter as my reference plane... now, when I go into array, it wants to copy them all up that plane...

Put the Plumb Cut in the Framing Family.

Array it in an elevation or a roof plan.

If you want to use a beam system, you can cut the end of the beams plumb using a vertical reference plane drawn where the cut is.

Here's what I figured out....

The reason why my array was failing.  I had created an extrusion to form an exposed rafter tail.  Then I wanted to copy that one item and spread it out across the eave so I would not have to redraw each one....that's what the "array" tool does.  The mistake I was making was that that I was selecting the extrusion and trying to perform the array directly on the item.  An extrusion will let you modify it's size when you select it, but that's all.  In order to perform more intricate modifications, you must also click on the "modify in-place" tab up in the ribbon... That's the part I was missing...

 

Just filled in another pot hole on the learning curve..
